U-space suite for managing unmanned traffic
Family of products for U-space designed to support operations related to unmanned aircraft systems
GMV developed Dronelocus®, a family of products for U-space, in response to the problem of the growing number of operations with unmanned civil aircraft expected in the near future.
GMV’s U-space suite includes the following services:
Dronelocus® tracking service
Dronelocus® emergency management service
Navigation and surveillance availability prediction service
These services have been tested in real operational environments integrated in other U-space applications.
The Dronelocus® tracking service manages data from several tracking sensors installed in drones. This service implements a Track Fusion algorithm to merge the data from different sensors.
Additionally, Dronelocus® can process data associated with ADS-B transmitters installed on unmanned aircraft.
The Dronelocus® service allows tracking information to be logged in a database to generate trajectory reports.
The Dronelocus® services are fully integrated into other U-space services in the DOMUS project. DOMUS was one of the European projects selected by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program to demo U-space services in unmanned traffic management (UTM). Both the Dronelocus® tracking service and emergency management service are integrated with the ecosystem management entity—the system core—as UTM-relevant services.
